my web

As far as final peace goes, this is where I stand.




Not sure if I like it. Will look again on Friday.

I have been experimenting with sewing into the victims portraits, thinking about how a serial killer who was scared of women would see women. Here are the sketchbook ones.


I think that the top one was most successful, as it is oddly inhuman. I decided to se into more portraits like that.



I like them, so decided to incorporate them into my web.

I think these have been quite successful all in all.

Painting

I am sorry, I have been caught up recently, so I am going to have to catch up a bit with posts. Since I last posted, I have been thinking, how would a woman fearing killer view women? With this in mind I did some portraits of the victims based on their photographs, warping their image in an attempt to make them creepy. Here are the pictures.



All but the last one is based on the victims. The last one is based on a magazine photo. 
I chose the red as it is the theam of my work right now, being passion and blood. It also represents on the lips makeup and falsehood. I admit I was heavily inspired by Stanistar Frenkiels demonic image 'Delphi Steps' where he portrays prostitutes in a demonic manner. 
I chose to paint with my fingers to make it more immediate and textural. A happy accident was made. As I did the images outside, they got soil in them, leading to even more earthy, grim images.
I am quite pleased with the results, but unsure if they tye into my current work.
